The primary objective of WEPPIA is to provide a forum for its members to interact with each other and to jointly tackle problems faced by them in their day to day operations. The Association also represents the members in other forums as well as in interactions with Govt. agencies. However, the roles and responsibilities of the Association have expanded manifolds after being assigned the job of maintaining the EPIP and undertaking development work which also involves participating in meetings involving the State Govt. as well as meetings outside Bangalore involving the Central Govt.
